Martin McDonagh is no stranger to a stellar cast. In Bruges saw him assemble Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. Seven Psychopaths united (albeit with a lot of guns) Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Michael Stuhlbarg and more. This time, the director is putting Frances McDormand at the centre of the sweary action, accompanied by previous McDonagh-ites Harrelson and Rockwell.
While Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is quite clearly gunning for 2017’s longest title, it may also just have the year’s funniest trailer. Check it out below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a darkly comic drama from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated.
Three Billboards also stars John Hawkes, Peter Dinklage, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish and Lucas Hedges. Feast your eyes on the brand spanking new poster below.
